19 X.[1900, Munich.]

Dear P. B.! A small postscript to yesterday's letter, so as not to trouble you to answer questions that have already been erledigt¹).

We have just received letters from the Parisians,—and at once understood* what I wrote to you yesterday and did not fully grasp myself, namely: your warning to be "wise as serpents" (easy to say!) and to keep aloof from "the emigration." The tone of the letters is such that it serves as an excellent commentary to your remark* which is now* fully clear to me.

Your Petrov.

¹) Erledigt—disposed of.
